AIM: To observe whether silicone oil (SO) tamponade could decrease macular perfusion after retinal detachment repair. METHODS: A prospective observational case-control study. Patients diagnosed with primary macular off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment undergoing successful retinal repair surgery with vitrectomy were strictly selected. Optical coherence tomography angiography findings were compared between SO and air tamponade groups. Two postoperative visiting points were set (1 and 3mo). RESULTS: Totally 29 patients (29 eyes) were enrolled. Twenty cases had SO tamponade while 9 cases were with air tamponade. At the first visiting point, superficial parafoveal vessel density (PFSVD) significantly decreased in the SO group (P=0.0403), especially in the superior quadrant or superior-hemi area (P=0.0089, 0.0426, respectively). Parafoveal deep vessel density (PFDVD) had no difference between the two groups. At the second visiting point, all quadrants of PFSVD reduced significantly in the SO group (P=0.0256, 0.0001, 0.0031,
